. he looked far too happy being on the sideline. andrewluck,russellwilson,two great quarterbacks, rg3 is going to end up being the face of the national football league. >> what a class of quarterbacks, though, this year. >> phenomenal. >> and i couldn't have been any more wrong about andrew luck. that guy's amazing. but i was saying you should go with rg3 instead of andrew luck. you can't fail with either of those two guys. they're incredible. >> and russell wilson. if he wasn't playing in seattle, he'd be the biggest media star. >> and rg3, i hear is a great guy. >> yeah. >> he said the guy was the most down to earth -- >> yep, all three of them are really classy guys. >>> baseball now. the yankees, just so you know -- >> there's a good sign. >> they still owe alex rodriguez $17 million. >> they'll be writing him checks in boca. he's got another hip replacement, willie. >> going to be out at least half of this next season because of a hip injury. the yankees announced he's going to have surgery in january to repair a bone impingement. >> it happened to him in the same night he w

, where very few people pay attention to anything that goes on out there in seattle, you'vegotrussellwilsonwho is phenomenal, just phenomenal. >> oh, what he did yesterday to take that team into soldier field because they're jostling with the packers at the top of their division, and they're now in position to get to the postseason, highly unlikely if it happens, and russell wilson, simply because he's 5'11", was drafted in round three, if he was any taller, he'd have gone higher. and he's proving that maybe we just don't assume that anyone under 6'3", 6'2", 6'4", isn't a desirable quarterback. drew brees has been doing it for years. but still the scouts think you have to be taller. >> putting together an incredible season. leigh, are you a jets fan? >> i don't want to say this, but i'm an eagles fan. >> oh, i'm so sorry. i knew there was a reason you were a little quiet over there. there's not much to say. >> i know. i know. i know. >> they're struggling a bit. >> yeah. >> the jets, they finally made the move. they put mark sanchez on the bench, but tim tebow was not available. >>

of rookie quarterbacks in the nfl this year. rg3 is one ofthem.russellwilsonout in seattle, west coast, very few people get to see him play. andrew luck, he's tremendous in indianapolis. but andrea, rg3 in washington, you're a season ticket holder. you're in love with the guy. talk about him. >> well, first of all, he is -- he's a real leader. he's really smart. he's very well educated, has a graduate degree. he was raised all over the world because his parents were both in the military, both of them. and he has these core values. he was elected captain by his teammates as a rookie quarterback early on because he's signified this. i mean, this is a guy who helped put six points on the board after fumbling, a rare fumble, if you saw that play on monday night. >> yeah. >> sort of a weird play. we were all screaming, you know, that was a fumble! because obviously, if it hadn't been, it wouldn't have been six points. mike, he is really a very special character. this is not just spin. >> sam stein, i realize you went to school in the woods up there in dartmouth, but the idea of living in a

? >> talk about another rookie quarterback, this kid wilson.>>russellwilson.>> he is great. >> more and more confident every week. >> at the risk of upsetting joe scarborough, could you break the rumored possibility -- >> there is talk that a certain very successful college football coach may be eyeing a return to the national football league. >> yeah, nick saban. if saban wins this year, he's won 3 out of 4 national championships, nobody's done that since the irish back in the '40s. so two ways to look at it. one way is what else can you do at alabama? you've won 3 out of 4 national championships. there's another way to look at it, though. do you want to be a two-time failure in the nfl -- and i'm dead serious here -- going to be a two-time failure and basically have everything you've accomplished at alabama wiped off the map because the end will be -- steve spurrier still hasn't recovered from his stint in washington. the guy was a football god. he went to washington and immediately the stories started, you know, that this guy was bush league. he was a college coach. if saban goes
